I have just formatted my hard drive and re install xp with service pack 2 back on to my computer.

I then downloaded service pack 3 that install fine, but now it will not download any other updates and it will not install msn.

This is really bugging me any ideas please help

Are you using Windows update or Microsoft update, which is newer and has updated installers and background services.

This is a known microsoft bug, the fix is available on the MS website.

Updates are not installed successfully from Windows Update, from Microsoft Update, or by using Automatic Updates after you perform a new Windows XP installation or you repair a Windows XP installation

I've had this a few times. Running this batch file resets everything so that windows update works again:
